Chili Spice Pecans. My husband is a huge fan of spicy foods and this recipe is one he came up with. These spicy nuts make a great snack when you want something a little spicy and salty.
This healthy snack is vegan, gluten free and paleo approved. We made just a small batch to start with, but you can certainly make a bigger one if you like. I think this flavor profile would work with my different nuts and seeds, so feel free to experiment.
These Sweet and Spicy Roasted Peanuts will become your new favorite snack. Perfect for game day snacking too. They pack big flavors with hints of sweetness and an extra kick of spices. Just like my maple glazed pecans, this recipe is going to be hard to stop eating!
If you have an allergy to peanuts, I do think any other nut should work as well. Sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds might also work for a nut-free option. You can make these up in about 10 minutes. Super easy snacking!
I also think roasted chickpeas may be delicious with this seasoning. I think I will try those next. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy these roasted peanuts as much as we did!
I can’t think of a single person that doesn’t like cashews or chocolate. Cashews are so buttery and delicious. When you pair cashews with salted chocolate, you really get a match made in heaven. These salted cashew chocolate clusters are so good. In fact, my husband ate most of them in about 2 days! Salty and sweet is the best combination. These salted cashew chocolate clusters can make a healthier snack alternative to unhealthy candy bars.
Slow Cooker Maple Glazed Pecans. The other day I happened to find an interesting recipe on Pinterest. It was Vegan in the Freezer’s Slow Cooker Maple Glazed Walnuts.
I loved the idea of cooking the nuts in the crock pot. Something I had never thought to try. I am not a fan of walnuts, so I made slow cooked nuts with pecans.
My recipe is loosely adapted from hers. These came out amazing! I didn’t even cook them that long, but the maple syrup almost caramelizes.
So good! I love the salty sweet combo. It reminded me of the flavors in kettle corn. The crock pot will seem like it’s going to be hard to clean.
Here is a trick. Once the nuts are done, fill the crock pot with soapy water and turn it back on for a few minutes. Then it will be super easy to clean.

Banana Nut Overnight Oats. Overnight oats are very popular these days. I have been having overnight oats for breakfast every morning lately.
They are so easy and travel well too. My husband takes them to work with him. Readers keep asking me to create new flavors, so here are some healthy and vegan banana overnight oats to try.

If you do not want to used stevia, I will put other options in this recipe as well.

I thought putting the banana in the night before would make it too mushy. I make 5 of these at a time and store them in the fridge for easy breakfasts all week. Enjoy!
These are so yummy and versatile!
Here in Texas, many people have pecan trees. We are not one of the lucky ones, but we do have several neighbors who do. When I go for walks with my daughters, sometimes we collect a few that the squirrels have not gotten to yet. My 3 year old thinks it’s the coolest thing ever. These candied pecans can be used in so many ways. You can toss them into plain yogurt, add them to cereal, throw them on a salad or just eat them straight up to curb a sweet tooth.
